Resoon Outdoor Gear: A Comprehensive Review and Buyer‘s Guide104


As an avid outdoors enthusiast, I’ve spent countless hours traversing mountains, exploring forests, and navigating rivers. Over the years, I’ve tested and reviewed a vast array of outdoor gear, from budget-friendly options to high-end professional equipment. Recently, I’ve had the opportunity to extensively test a range of products from Resoon, a brand gaining traction in the outdoor market. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of my experiences with Resoon outdoor gear, offering insights into its strengths, weaknesses, and overall value proposition.

My experience with Resoon began with their backpacking backpack line. I specifically tested the Resoon 70L Explorer backpack. First impressions were positive. The pack boasts a robust, yet lightweight, design, constructed primarily from ripstop nylon. The stitching appeared strong and well-executed, a crucial factor for a pack destined for rigorous use. The adjustable torso length and hip belt ensure a comfortable and secure fit, even when loaded to capacity. The multiple compartments, including dedicated hydration sleeve, trekking pole attachments, and numerous zippered pockets, allowed for excellent organization of my gear. During a three-day backpacking trip in the Cascade Mountains, the Resoon 70L Explorer performed exceptionally well. It remained comfortable even under heavy load, and the suspension system effectively transferred weight to my hips, alleviating shoulder strain. The pack also handled challenging terrain with ease, showing no signs of wear or tear. However, I did find the hip belt pockets a little small for larger items, and the rain cover, while adequate, felt a bit flimsy compared to some competitors.

Moving beyond backpacks, I also evaluated Resoon's camping tent, the "Stargazer 2." This two-person dome tent is surprisingly spacious for its size, offering ample headroom and comfortable sleeping space for two adults. Setup was relatively straightforward, taking me approximately 10 minutes on my first attempt. The poles are made from a durable aluminum alloy, and the fabric is a waterproof and breathable polyester. During a week-long camping trip, the Stargazer 2 withstood heavy rain and strong winds without any leaks or significant damage. Ventilation was also impressive, preventing excessive condensation buildup even in humid conditions. The only drawback I experienced was the relatively lightweight stakes, which might struggle in extremely hard ground. Investing in heavier-duty stakes would be a worthwhile upgrade for serious campers.

My exploration of Resoon gear continued with their sleeping bag, the "Summit 30." Rated to 30°F (-1°C), this bag proved comfortable and warm throughout several nights spent in chilly mountain conditions. The synthetic fill provided excellent insulation, and the design incorporated a comfortable hood and draft tube to minimize heat loss. The bag is also surprisingly lightweight and packs down relatively small, making it ideal for backpacking. However, the bag's synthetic fill does feel a bit bulkier and less compressible than down-filled bags of comparable warmth. This is a trade-off many outdoor enthusiasts are willing to make for the synthetic fill's superior water resistance.

Finally, I tested Resoon's hiking boots, the "Trailblazer." These boots are designed for day hikes and light backpacking. The Trailblazers are constructed with a durable leather and nylon upper, providing excellent support and protection. The Vibram outsoles offer exceptional grip on various terrains, while the midsole cushioning provided adequate comfort even during long hikes. However, the boots took a few hikes to break in properly, and during the initial few uses, I experienced some minor discomfort. Once broken in, though, the Trailblazers proved to be comfortable and reliable hiking companions. While they are sturdy boots, they might not be suitable for extremely technical terrain or heavy backpacking loads.

Overall, my experience with Resoon outdoor gear has been overwhelmingly positive. The brand offers a range of products that provide excellent value for their price point. The quality of materials and construction is generally very high, and the performance in real-world conditions has been exceptional. While there are some minor shortcomings in certain areas (such as the relatively lightweight stakes in the tent and the break-in period required for the hiking boots), these are minor issues that don't significantly detract from the overall positive experience. Resoon gear is a solid choice for outdoor enthusiasts seeking reliable, durable, and reasonably priced equipment. They are a strong contender in the market, particularly for budget-conscious adventurers who don’t want to compromise on quality.

I would recommend Resoon gear to anyone looking for a good balance of performance and affordability. However, it is important to carefully consider your individual needs and preferences before making a purchase. Check the specifications of each product and read additional reviews to ensure it aligns with your specific requirements for your outdoor adventures. Based on my testing, Resoon is a brand worthy of consideration and I will certainly continue to incorporate their gear into my future expeditions.
